I felt a little guilty asking but Nikki had no qualms about it — so I did a little 4-wheeling, today. I took Georgia pass from Jefferson to Breckenridge and it was beautiful and wonderful. Jefferson is the first town you come to after going over Kenosha Pass from Denver on 285. From there, you take the first road West up to the top of Georgia Pass. The top is on the Continental Divide and the view of South Park is just wonderful — I liked that almost as much as the view from the scenic lookout near the top of Kenosha Pass.
From there, I took the road down towards Breckenridge. There is another trail, there, that was marked for high-clearance 4×4 vehicles, but I a) was by myself, b) in the FJ and don’t have much in the way of recovery equipment, and c) (most importantly) am a father and don’t want to orphan Zaiden. If I were with someone more experienced (Chris, for example), I would have happily gone. Maybe another day.
When I reached the bottom, I just found another trail or two to go “play” around on. It was pretty fun. None of the trails I took were very intense but it was nice to get into the mountains, go 4 wheeling, and get to know my vehicle a little better.
The trip home SUCKED. It took me 2 1/2 hours to go from “the tunnels” to the house. Crikey there are a lot of people in Colorado these days.

Zaiden’s Grandma B (Nikki’s mom) came to town last Wednesday. Over the weekend we took a couple of nice drives and had picnics. On Saturday, we went to Sedalia in the hopes of seeing what “all the buzz” was about. Belinda (aka Grandma B) is in the market for some real estate and was told to check out Sedalia instead of Estes Park. There wasn’t much in Sedalia so we took off for a drive up into the mountains. We ended up having a picnic along Rampart Range Road. We snapped a few photos to commemmorate the event. AJ and Rachelle came with us and it was quite a fun little outing. (more…)
